EMPRQVEMENT EN PillhlT BFUJSi-IES.

The schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom -55 may concern:

vBe it known that I, JOHN Antes, Jr., of Lansing burg, in the county of Rensselear and. State of New York, have invented it new and useful Improvement in Paint-Brush; and I do hereby declare that the following is at full, oleer, and exact description thereof, which will enable others shilied in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing formingpnrt or" this specification;

The figure is a detail sectional view of my improved brush.

My invention has for its object to furnish an improved brush which shall be so constructed as to give more hotly to the brush and prevent it from wearing away in the middle faster than upon the sides and thus becoming swallow-tailed one It consists in the combination of a smell interior hrush with the main brush, as hereinafter more fully described.

A is the handle;

B, the bristles; and

0; the binding-cord, wire, or ferrule of the main brush, about the construction of which there is nothing new, except that the handle A has a, hole formed in the center of its lower end.

B- is the stem or handle E are the bristles; and

to fit into the hole in the lower end of the handle A of the main brush.

The stem B may have a screw-thread out upon it to adapt it to be screwed into the hole in the lower .end of the handle A; or, if desired, the stern D may be driven into the hole in the handle A.

- The bristles E should he of such elength that their lower ends may ezmctlycoincide with the ends of the bristles B of the main brush, as shown in the figure. By this construction the bristles are more evenly distributed, giving more body to the brush without increasing its cost. I
